I struggle to give Southgate credit. He’s the luckiest manager we have ever had. When it come to the big tournaments he was blessed with easy draws and runs to the semi finals and finals. I believe we would have achieved that no matter who was in charge.

Would agree ... although Bobby Robson had a bit too ... if Bryan Robson hadn't dislocated his shoulder and Ray Wilkins not had a red card we would likely have gone out in the group stages of the World Cup in 86 ... that forced him into team / formation change for the final group game, the most significant of which were bringing in Beardsley and Lineker, who instantly clicked and we then battered Poland to go through ... and went on until Diego had a hand ... and the two became fixtures culminating in Italia 90...

One of best weekends in football calendar starts today in the EFL. Some great championship games.

Hoping for wins for Boro, WBA, and Oxford.

That Boro game probably in the pissing rain has the potential to be absolute filth. On ITV too but I’ll be on the way to our 1-1 draw with ****ford

As hyped as I am for tomorrow I'm a bit pissed off that the FA scheduled QF's for this weekend as annoying not having a game today or Monday.

No Easter games next season either. Game's gone :(

I think that’s just because Easter happens to fall on international weekend rather than being an annual thing but yeah. It’s a great weekend of sport after the dross of the last two weeks. Good boxing tomorrow night too.
 
@brb on his way up to Walsall meeting up for a couple of pre match pints, then ragging the lot of ya over the best Pakistani curry in the area post match.

Yeah it is, just annoying where we'll miss out two years in a row.

Gonna miss most of boxing. Should hopefully see main event if game doesn't go to ET.

With Arsenal’s injury crisis it’s hard to make a case for them holding you to a draw. Any players part of the aforementioned crisis who do play will be in absolute agony doing so after being nowhere near capable of playing in the latest international games.

Their second string is still better than our first team minus Downes and possibly Scienza. If Scienza not fit give us no chance at all tbh.

Plus there's always the risk that our manager is a stupid **** and 'rests' players for Wrexham.

I so wish this was true. Football was always great this time of year. Even if the team were absolute dogshit, it was the meet ups that made it worthwhile, and at the moment I'd probably just stay in the pub and not bother with the game.
